Correction: That's because Mr. Krabs was hallucinating the cemetery.

Correction: It's Patrick who turns the belt's M upside-down into a W. Then after SpongeBob activates it, while Patrick is shrinking down to Squidward's size, it really cannot be claimed, "it is an "M" again, without him ever touching it" because SpongeBob is offscreen during this time, so he actually does have the opportunity to simply turn it back to the M.

Nasty Patty / The Idiot Box - S3-E4

Corrected entry: In 'Nasty Patty' SpongeBob put the health inspector in the freezer. The police people open the door to discover that it's empty, moments later the inspector approaches them from behind from outside of the room. How did he manage to go outside without being seen and open the freezer door from the inside as there was no handle on the inside?

Correction: Knowing the show, it's common that character may be able to do impossible tasks. Also, there's an alternate mistake: there IS supposed to be a door handle inside as revealed in the episode SB-129.

Correction: IT'S A CARTOON! Some suspension of disbelief is expected. Sea creatures don't talk or wear clothes either.

Correction: Remember: Squidward has six limbs (including arms). He could have been holding on to the sides of the fort. Besides, we don't know how long it took him to build the fort. As for the tree, common cartoon humor.

Correction: He only appears twice because the angle changes. When "Mr. Plankton" is looking out the window he's looking over to his far right when the green fish passes. Then the angle changes so we see straight out the window, which is to the left of the previous angle, so we see the green fish walking still.

Correction: Watch the scene again, there is always 6 coins.

No Weenies Allowed / Squilliam Returns - S3-E6

Corrected entry: In "Squilliam Returns", when Spongebob erases everything from his mind, (except fine dining and breathing) his brain is shown shredding papers. When his brain shreds memory, one paper shredded is entitled "Spice Garden Tips". Later when Squilliam arrives, Spongebob serves him the "Krabby Newburg" which he says, "contains herbs from our garden". But if Spongebob forgot his "Spice Garden Tips", he would not be able to prepare that dish. (00:05:40)

JT

Correction: While I have to applaud the attention to detail, preparing food with seasonings from an existing garden would not require tips on how to grow one.

Grumpy Scot

Correction: One of the running gags on the show is that both Patchy's eye patch and hook switch from right to left continuously.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: All of the characters in the show get hurt at one time or another, and then the injuries immediately disappear. It's one of the main, ongoing sight gags of the entire show, and it's done entirely on purpose.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: Since when does that happen? I've seen a lot of the series, and that has never happened so this is a mistake.

Correction: Spongebob has also been shown to be none too bright...plus, the show by its nature has little or no continuity between episodes.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: It's entirely possible that all the stars don't fit in Spongebob's column and he just takes a mental note of it.

Correction: While that may be true, that's one of the running gags throughout Patchy's skits. His peg leg, hook, and patch all change places on his body from left side to right side. In other episodes, the hook or patch or leg do disappear altogether. That's the gag.

Correction: Throughout the series, Patrick's teeth repeatedly change for jokes. It's just part of the show.

Brad

Correction: The coffins were there simply for a joke, and that's why they deliberately disappear.

Brad

Correction: The toilet was there simply for a joke.

Brad

Correction: It was there for that joke and that joke only. This occurs all the time in Spongebob.

Brad

Correction: A misspelling on a sign at any given restaurant is a pretty common occurrence, so an eatery in Bikini Bottom is not exempt.

Super Grover

Correction: Mr. Krabs says, "Then we add undersea veggies and cheese". He doesn't forget it.

Brad

Correction: This is done for dramatic effect. It lands with such force and frightens Patrick and Spongebob. The fact the pencil lands more like a missile fits in with the environment of the show, i.e. That Bikini Bottom has gravity despite being underwater. The fact they are able to launch the pencil back up with the same force shows its not a one off as well.

Lummie

Correction: The training video could have been outdated and cheapskate Krabs wouldn't have wanted to make a new one.
